Defending myself

I am such a scared person. So finally I signed up for a women's self defense course. I figured that learning techniques for defense would make me feel more sure of myself.

And it's true. I left that class feeling so good! And now I have it in my head that I want to learn to be a real fighter. I don't want to be a victim. Whatever happens in my life, I don't wanna go down with my hands behind my back (metaphorically). I want to be able to protect myself and others. I want to have the ability to protect if I ever need to.

It's funny because I grew up with a very clear idea that there is very real evil in this world. So that was ingrained in me but I wasn't given any tools to protect myself against this very real evil I was taught about.

I hope I'll be able to stick to it.
